Hi Dolly. I think these towels would be ideal for embroidery. They are very similar to the type of towels my grandma embroideried on years ago. They washed up nicely and work well. Hope this helps! Shawn

These towels are strong enough for machine embroidery with light stabilizer they should be good for hand embroidery also

I hand embroidered on the flour sacks. It turned out o.k.. I would have liked it better if the weave had been tighter.

I just bought these towels and washed and dried them prior to ironing on an embroidery transfer. They're quite crinkly out of the dryer. Ironing them, I discovered the hemmed edges had a lot of threads hanging out, and they were not cut with the grain of the threads, resulting in skewed rectangles, off by several inches. You can iron them fairly flat and a transfer should work, but I decided to find nicer towels.

Hi, Dolly! The commercial grade Flour Sack Tea Towels that I purchased are really great! I machine embroidered some with vintage designs that were stitches similar to hand embroidery, so would recommend them for your project. Happy Creating, Dolly!

I know a little about embroidery. I would suggest buying a set and trying it, because they are very sturdy. And, if they don't work for embroidery, they are PERFECT for drying dishes. They are a fantastic product!

I would not recommend for embroidery if you ever plan to wash them. They come out of the wash all shriveled up and the hems come undone. All your beautiful hard work would be ruined.

I've done embroidery for over 40 years--I can't imagine why you couldn't. I love these towels, but I use them strictly for kitchen duty. I would certainly prewash them.

The flour sack towels are great for drying most anything you wish to. I use mine for dishes and my first lady has embroidered some and they did extra good.Mark, down here in TEXAS

My guess would be that these would not embroider well at all. They are quiet thin.

Better to just buy the appropriate size strings, which don't cost any more than these. You probably could use them, but you'll need to cut a fair bit off the end of each string to have an appropriate amount to wind around the pegs, and you'll probably lose the entire wrapping.

I'll have to check. The dolls are upstairs and I don't manage steps too well these days. I know their eyes do close when you tip them down.My granddaughters are only 11 months old and these dolls will be their first of many dolls. They are such sweet dolls.I took their outfits off and are having them monogrammed with the the twins names. I researched pretty well and am happy with my choice.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

I would purchase them. They are wonderful gifts and are exactly as advertised. Everyone I've given them to has raved about them and they themselves have then purchased them for gifts.Go for it!

I don't see why not... they are basic but nice. I embroider on them and people love them as gifts.

you message them. i believe you write them during the ordering process where it asks for special directions. make sure you specify the text!!!! I said i wanted the text shown on the picture and that is not what I received. I would call or email to follow up after ordering to make you actually get what you want. honestly, this is not a very good embosser... ok for one piece of printer paper but nothing thicker. I wish I would have spent more money on a better product. good luck, i hope it works for you!

I do a lot of hemming and alterations, evan tried triple layer denim ,works fine for me. If you have dexterous hands I imagine it should work.

No, I would go to the fabric store and get something that sews in. I've made handbags before and this definitely isn't what you want. I also tried the iron on inside and didn't like the way it looked. (I can't remember what it's called for the life of me! Sorry)

I had no problem changing yarns as long as the weight was correct. DK was great. Worsted was more difficult. Didn't try bulky but I doubt the machine could handle it.

I don't know. I used a hand held embosser on them and they worked great for that purpose.

I try to purchase items with stitched eyes. It is a safety thing with me. Buttons can cause choke hazzards. Hope this helps. The sock monkeys are darling.

Hailey S is correct. Dont let the first coat scare you! By the 3rd coat it will be gorgeous! Good Luck.

Ps) I just saw the exact same ones at Joann fabric. They aren't as cheap but maybe you could go take a look at them!
